Inky ruby. A deeply perfumed bouquet evokes ripe dark berries, incense and candied flowers, with a smoky mineral overtone and a hint of oak spice. Powerful dark fruit liqueur and cherry cola flavors coat the palate and show very good concentration. Closes broad, supple and long, with velvety tannins coming in late to add shape and gentle grip to a lingering cherry note.

Rich and velvety, this ripe red delivers plum pudding, cherry preserves, cocoa and toasty flavors in a generous, fruit-centered style. It's abundant in everything--fruit, oak and alcohol--but stays balanced. Drink now through 2023. 7,300 cases made, 3,800 cases imported.

Plenty of blueberry and blackberry character with hints of spices. Medium body. Fresh finish. Hints of chocolate add to the complexity. Drink now.
